Hotels in Orava, Slovak Republic

Orava is a region in northern Slovakia, set against the backdrop of the Oravská Magura mountains and the vast Orava Dam. Winters are cold, often dropping to 14°F (-10°C), perfect for skiing at Oravská Magura's slopes, while summers reach 77°F (25°C) and are ideal for boat trips on the dam or hiking to Orava Castle, a 13th-century fortress perched on a cliff above the river. If you prefer warmer waters, head to the dam's beaches in July, or visit in early spring to see the castle grounds without crowds.
